🚀 Rocket Booster Landing Lab: Suicide-Burn Timing, Throttle Limits and Touchdown

Interactive propulsive-landing lab for a generic reusable booster: choose ignition altitude, throttle floor, propellant and wind, watch the phase-plane braking curve, and test the suicide-burn formula against a simulation.

⚙ Under the hood

Land a generic reusable booster on a barge or tower arms: pick ignition altitude, throttle floor, engines, propellant and wind, read the altitude-speed braking-curve phase plane, and test the v^2/2(a-g) suicide-burn formula against a simulation with mass loss, drag and spool-up. Differs from the existing landing-burn sims by its phase-plane window, hover-slam physics, tower-catch tolerances and Monte-Carlo timing experiment.
